The nature scenery of Alabama and the playfulness of the water beats anything. The average Alabama whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The Joy Road to Locust Fork stretch is the only paddling stretch along Big Scirum Creek. This is a very short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise |
and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
